CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It wouldn't hurt getting a second opinion. I know this isn't a fun situation to be in. I hope you find some help for this.

This sounds like typical reactions to many mood elevating or enhancing drugs. The worst problem is that they are bad and they are addictive. Cold turkey usually imparts some significant withdrawal; the point being, nasty stuff. There is something you can take; pm me. You must first address this before you examine the depression, which is usually just a signal that one needs to make a change. You are in my prayers.

Hmmm. I think I can relate. Do you feel the loving peace from God, but in the pits of your heart its almost numbness and despair? Its like a cordial cherry...the peace of God is the sweet cherry inside but part of me is still so hard and wont let go of the deep- grained sadness...and sometimes I even like to swim in my own pool of despair..its quite strange.

The enemy tried to tempt Yeshua (Matt 4) and His response was Scripture. So when those tormenting thoughts come, we can immediately start thinking on His Word such as "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee," (Isa 26:3).
Of course, we can't do this without His overwhelming help. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13).

i havent been tested for bi polar but from my reesearch i dont think its that as i dont have manic eposodes and the sudden mood change is within hours and i know with bi polar it can take weeks to months and its way more edcalated than what im going through. i dont want to be put on mind drugs as i know i can do this and beat it i just dont know how, i am trying to get as close to god as i can as i feel him calling me to do more for him and nah i dont feel sadness towards god at times gods my only comfort when im like that but the mind changes do try and question my faith and gods plan etc but i do my best to resist it i just cant figure out whats going on with me or what to do as when it happens it feels like im fighting something in my head that controls me but as i said i cant be depressed as im usually happy its just when i feel to weak to fight this weird mood and thought changes i pray for help but i know gods trying but i just cant get rid of it

i cannot pm because i have wrote enough posts but in reply to your pm i do feel saved but i do do things that some christians dissapprove of which does make me wonder for example me and my partner have taken marriage vows to us and to god we cannot afford to gdt married but we believe we are married in gods eyes just not by law which i know god would prefer all the other little bad things i do like speak out of anger i cannot control as i dont know where the anger comes from like the sadness it comes for no reason then torments me with all the other stuff

I think I am experiencing something similar. Could be a demon or not. Better try a safe medicine to be safe alongside prayer. Demons oppress christians but do not possess them unless they invite them willfully and like their suggestions when they know 100% it is a demon teaching them evil and it is not an intrusive thought

I do not know. Could be just your restless spirit but that could be because of not spending time with private prayer

hello ...i want to say this to you because i think it's absolutely vital ... in your search for understanding of this ... as you are speaking here or otherwise to others there is something that will be 'in your face' ... it will be those who come to you with guilt and condemnation ... if someone 'points out' your 'guilt' in this ... well, you need to consider very carefully that it is very unlikely it is someone speaking 'for the Lord' ... our Lord does not work in guilt and condemnation ... there are those who will confuse conviction and condemnation ... the enemy deals in condemnation ... i'm not speaking about the depression, itself, but the one who insists 'it's all your fault' ... Christians are to do things in love ... 'if' and i do mean if, you are 'guilty' of something it would be lack of knowledge at this point ... you are seeking understanding ... that is exactly what you should be doing ... i pray you find your answer ... to say a Christian is not able to be touched by a spirit not of the Lord is simply ignorance ... i.e. lack of knowldege ... it doesn't mean you have one ... simply that it can happen ... anger is a spirit not of the Lord ... what it does mean is the person is not walking in the Spirit at that time ... see? ... and there is absolutely such thing as depression caused by medical reasons ... i urge and urge and urge you ... the one you need answers from is the Lord ... not those full of anger and hate telling you 'what's wrong with you' ... you will be so confused by the time it is over that you won't know up from down ... not saying you shouldn't ask ... saying be VERY careful who you listen to ... the wrong voice will have the ability to 'take you over the edge' if you allow it ... just be selective ... the Lord loves you and wants to help ... not accuse ... the accuser is Satan ... the Word says so ... in this pursuit of answers work to learn what and what not the Lord would say to you ... He is the One who knows and understands ... seek Him in this ... He is faithful ... i pray you find your answer in this ... such an ugly thing to live with ...
